    Two unexpected sats, seen naked eye,  NW  55°,  while  waiting for 96
    072A transit. Both mag +3 almost steady,  on the same path, the second
    (Progress M-56 Soyuz r ) about 20° distance from the first (Progress M56).
    Some flashes  mg +2 noted for the first sat. Amazing high angular speed.
    Trajectory from el 55° az 300°  to  el 25° az 040°.
    Sat identity kindly provided by Russel Eberst.
